Viktor Orbán’s Hungarian power grab

"many of the new constitutional provisions remain objectionable. Marriage is defined as the “conjugal union of a man and a woman;” (wow!) churches allowed public funding must “collaborate with the state for the public interest.” (not for the tax exemption?) Political advertising during election campaigns is restricted to public media (pricing?), while “free speech cannot be aimed at violating the dignity of the Hungarian nation.”(guys, ANY nation would be pissed) Students who receive scholarships to state universities (=free) are required by the constitution to work for Hungarian firms (not really, only 'work' in Hungary), and local jurisdictions are given authority to “outlaw the use of certain public space for habitation,” a measure widely seen as aimed at Hungary’s Roma minority (not really, more aimed at the homeless). The former Communist Party is constitutionally defined as a criminal organization (duh!), a step that critics say could expose some opposition leaders to prosecution ('early retirement from public service' maybe:) on political grounds (no shit, man, really? maybe it's time to do that)." Also from The Washington Post: "For the previous eight years (2002-2010), the country had been run by one of the most incompetent governments in Europe. Hungary's Socialists ran up debt, evaded reforms and squirreled away money in foreign bank accounts. At one point (2006), the former Socialist prime minister declared that he knew he had "lied" to the voters, and that only "divine providence, the abundance of cash in the world economy and hundreds of tricks" had kept the country afloat during his years in office. After a tape of that speech became public, there were riots in Budapest. In April (2010), Hungary's voters threw him out."
